TIE HOLDER.

v'Application filed January 4, 1922.` Serial No. g.

T0 aZZ whom t may concern: i

Be it known that I, PETER ORSI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockton,

in the county of San Joaquin and Statev ofV California, have invented new and vuseful lfmprovements in Tie Holders, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to a `tie holder, and

to a' support for to the button of a collar and at the saine time to engage the outer folds of 'a collar to hold the tie in position and to conceal the support therefor.

The present invention contemplates a ystructure adapted particularly for use with turn-over collars,v and comprises a rigid back plate carrying a yieldable button clip,

the back plate being further iitted with re-` silient fingers adapted to engage and grip the opposite flaps of a collar and carrying a pin or clasp for detachably securing a tie to the plate.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure l is a view in elevationshowingy the application of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a view inperspective showing the complete structure of the holder as seen from in front.

F ig. 8 is a view in elevation showing the back of the holder.

Fig. 4c is a view in planshowing the relation of the various parts of theholder to a collar and its button. 4

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 10 indicates a collar. This is shown as the conventional turn-over collar secured to a collar band by 4a button in the rea-r and a button 11 in front. 12 indicates the tie holder. v This holder is formed with a substantially rigid back plate 13. Theback plate 13 is preferably made of textile ina-` terial which, while possessing considerable rigidity, might be readily altered to conform to dierent sizes of collars. The back plate 13 is formed with two oppositely extending wings which lie between the front and rear folds of the collar. Secured intion.

terniediate` the ends of the wings and to the front wings of the plate are a pair of yieldable fingers 14. These fingers frictionally engage the front' iiaps of the collar i and cooperate with the back plate to firmly hold the tie-supporting structure in posii The holding ofthe structure is further insured lby a button clip 16. This clip `is secured upon "the opposite side of the plate 13 and comprises a 'member fastened `1:2

by its oppositeends to the plate and having a central yieldable section formed 4with a `slotted kopening 17.` This opening has` a narrow throat at its lower end which com inunicates with a larger circular opening.

The wing portions 13 of the plate form a continuation 0f the centr-al enlarged portionwhich projects downwardly, as indicated at 18. This part of the plate carries a pin 19. The pin is hinged at one end and has a clamp at its oppositeend for holding atie 20 in position thereon.

In the operation of the present invention the tie 20 is made up in any suitable manner, preferably by taking the various folds forming the tie wing and throwing a knot across them to resemble the usual bow tie.

It will also be understood that a four-inhand tie may be utilized, if desired, to provide a fourin-hand which is securpd by the pin 19 to the plate. The tie may then be placed in position by first putting the collar on and securing it by the front button 11, after which the back plate is inserted between the front and rear folds of the collar` and the clip 16 passed downl over the collar button. The spring fingers 14C yWill'eXtend over the front flapof the `collar and tend to hold the form in its proper position. This feature of the in` vention is also quite desirable when soft collars are used, as it will act to hold the collar snugly around the neck and prevent it from sagging in front. i i

'Tt will thus be seen that the tie-holder here disclosed, while simple in construction, provides suitable detachable support for any type of tie `and insures that it may readily and easily be held in position upon a collar.

While T have shown the preferred form of my invention .as now known to me, I wishV it understood that various changes in the combination, construction and arrangement` of 'parts may be made by those skilled in the i v'in art vWithout ldeparting from the yspirit of my invention as disclosed in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention,

:what I claim and desire @to secure by Letters Patent is f l. A necktie holder comprising aframe bar, an inwardly projecting member mount ed on the inner sidethereof and having `a slot therein for engaging a collar button, a fastening element secured to the outer vside of the frame bar for detachably connectingY a tie thereto, and spring lingers arranged on the outerV side of the frame bar toengagefthe collary and securethe device in a proper position thereon.

2.(AL necktie holder ycomprising an elongated arcuate frame bar, an inwardly projecting lug having a slot therein arranged on the inner side of the frame bar to engage a collar button,` a pair of spring fingers arranged on the opposite side -of the 4frame bar and parallel thereto to engagethe outer fold of arcollar for firmly maintaining the device `in position relatively to a collar, Iand a `fastening element'inountedon the frame the frame bar and extendingparallel there- -to .forengaging the outer fold 0f a collar and clamping the lsainebetween the frame baigand the said iingers for maintaining the device in correct position relatively to the collar, and a fastener element'secured to the outermost side of the frame bar and adapted to engage a necltie and detachably mount the same on lthe frame bar.V
